Practical Strategies for Spoken Voice Coaches
Thursday 29th January 2026, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM (London Time)
This two-hour workshop offers a practical exploration of spoken voice coaching across a variety of settings, from artistic training to other kinds of professional communication contexts.
Designed for coaches working with clients at all experience levels, the session will introduce adaptable strategies for common challenges in voice work, along with flexible frameworks for structuring sessions, selecting exercises, and fostering client growth. Topics may include foundational techniques, favourite “go-to” tools, and key considerations when coaching one-on-one or in group settings.
Participants will also reflect on coaching dos and don’ts, explore ways to support client needs, and consider how to adapt methods to different environments—whether theatre, education, corporate, or beyond. While the focus will remain on practical tools and strategies that participants can implement immediately, the session will also offer broader resources and frameworks to support continued development in this evolving field of voice practice.

Feldenkrais Method® - its application in speech and song!
Marina Gilman
The Feldenkrais Method® is a form of somatic education that uses gentle movement and directed attention to improve physical and mental functioning, including singing and speaking. Since we are not always aware of the source of tension or discoordination, it is difficult to make the necessary adjustments to ensure optimal use of the voice!

The Vocal Health Challenges for Actors and Singers!
Leda Scearce
Two part course! Vocal health principles are inextricably and symbiotically linked with singing and acting voice pedagogy: Good vocal health allows the singer and actor to more easily and effectively achieve their technical and artistic goals, and good teaching reinforces vocal technique that diminishes the risk of vocal injury. We now also recognize the necessity for singers and actors to understand how their instruments work, how to take care of their voices, and what to do when something goes wrong. Singing and acting teachers are indeed on the front lines of vocal health!
